Because She is Very Persuasive.....

 The campaign went on for a few months.

There would be a music festival in Kentucky coming in June.

Of course, we have music festivals right here in Pa.

At least one huge one....

where Warren and I have spent many happy days.

It is called Creation.

It is coming up at the end of June.

Apparently all of the "right" people weren't going to be there.

So....on the white board on the side of the refrigerator

each day would appear a new message about the Kentucky

Festival.  Then e-mails would appear in my inbox.

Big eyes would look at me with meaning.

Money was offered.

This was big.

Our Chelsea is tight with her money.

She must have gotten her Grandpa Gene's

money skills.

He was definitely always seeking out the best deal.

He usually found it too.

But this was so important
that she would shell out her own money
to pay for 

tickets and help with the expenses.

Finally we were worn down but there was a problem.

In order for her to go to the music festival without us

she needed someone over the age of eighteen to 

accompany her.

At the time this whole campaign began her brother

Michael was committed to his schooling at the gardens.

Friends older siblings were consulted.

We even consulted my friend, Melissa.

She thinks younger than I do.....

Nobody was able to go.

It didn't look good.

Well, then Michael's plans were changed.

He became available.

Michael happens to enjoy this music nearly

as much as Chelsea.

They are the only two in our home who would

possibly enjoy this event.

So...It was Michael to the rescue.

We leave Jonathan at home to mind the house, 

the dogs, the chickens, the cats.....

The Grandma's are planning to feed him and 

see that he has whatever he might need.

I think that he is going to be quite spoiled

so please don't feel sorry for him.

This is a journey of

I'll be back when I have internet connection.

Hopefully that will be very soon.
